No, the idea is not to check that the GuC call has *enabled* each
selected doorbell, but to check that after the end of the first loop,
and the subsequent restore, all *other* doorbells have been *disabled*.
We're only *selecting* each doorbell so that we can then *deselect* it
as a side effect of selecting the next one!

Hence separate loop required ...

.Dave.

This still can be done by backup of previous client->doorbell_id. If it
is not same as the desired db_id, then make sure it is *disabled* after
the update.

No, I also want to check that there's no crosstalk, so that after having swept the entire space, there's exactly ONE doorbell enabled, and it's the one we most recently associated with the client.

The real problem here, at least not for now, is that it assumes there is
only one guc_client. In future, if there is user created guc_client, the
code doesn't restore doorbell for it.

Alex

By definition there is only one (newly-created) client at the point where this is called. I'd have done this first, but we need a client for talking to the GuC! Any additional clients (e.g. for preemption) will be created afterwards.

This entire function wouldn't be necessary if the GuC would guarantee to clear all doorbells at startup, or if the hardware provide a RESET signal for the doorbell block :(

BTW the persistent-kmap patch should be merged today, so I'll have to update the above to get rid of the kmap_atomic() above.

.Dave.
